Padres signed INF/OF Mike McCoy to a minor league contract.

McCoy spent all of last season at Triple-A with the Red Sox, batting an ugly .181/.295/.247. He's hit just .190/.273/.256 across parts of four seasons in the majors and is merely an organizational depth guy. Feb 27 - 9:03 AM

Red Sox signed INF/OF Mike McCoy to a minor league contract.

He should be invited to spring training. McCoy has batted only .190/.273/.256 across parts of four seasons as a utility player, but he has some speed and plays all over the diamond. Expect him to begin the year at Triple-A Pawtucket. Fri, Nov 15, 2013 04:58:00 PM

Mike McCoy was removed from Saturday's Grapefruit League game after being involved in a collision with Ryan Langerhans.

McCoy has been diagnosed with a quad contusion and will be taken to the clubhouse for further examination. It sounds like he's avoided a serious injury, but we should know more when the Blue Jays update his status later on Saturday. Sat, Feb 23, 2013 03:54:00 PM

McCoy was designated for assignment earlier this month but has cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. He batted just .173 in 32 games at the major league level this past season. Fri, Nov 30, 2012 03:30:00 PM

Josh Johnson threw off a mound Monday for the first time since Tommy John elbow surgery.

It was a 20-pitch, fastball-only bullpen session. Johnson is trying to make it back from a second Tommy John reconstructive elbow procedure and probably won't be ready for live games until May. The right-hander is not worth a gamble in standard fantasy leagues.

Cory Luebke (elbow) said that he felt great after Sunday's bullpen session.

"It felt like my old arm again" Luebke noted after the 30-pitch session. He'll repeat the same process again in 3-4 days and is still at least a month away from facing live hitters. The 30-year-old hurler is working his way back from a second Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to rejoin the Padres until midseason.
